Something In Between
"So you're..." Yoongi starts.
"A split personality of Jimin. Yes." JiHyun says.
The two were sitting at Yoongi's dining table.
"And can you wait a bit longer? So you can talk to Jimin? You aren't dating me. You're dating him." The boy snaps back, obviously a lot different from Jimin.
"So you're JiPark13?" Yoongi inquires.
"Yeah. Isn't it obvious? Damn. I'd think that Jimin would at least go for a smart guy." JiHyun scoffs and scrolls through his phone.
"Rude. I'm just interested. Why hasn't Jimin told me about you?" JiHyun puts his phone down.
"He doesn't like me." JiHyun explains. "I'm, what you call an embarrassment to him."
Yoongi shakes his head. "I'm sure he doesn't think that way."
"Oh I know he does. He's been trying to keep me down for years, constantly looking for medication to keep me away. Some days, he lets me do whatever I want, like he misses me, but other days he goes crazy. Hits his forehead, yelling at me through the mirror, and says he never wanted me, and never will. Don't act as if you know anything Min. You don't even know the beginning."
Yoongi stays a bit silent after the small rant. But he's persistent. "I could. If you're willing to tell me."
JiHyun sighs. "It should be him telling you. Not me. He's your boyfriend."
"You don't have to tell me everything. Maybe just, what do you think of Jimin?"
The boy's sighs and scratches his head. "Jimin's the only one I've really got. He's alright."
Yoongi shakes his head. "Don't lie to me. I saw that piece of paper. You were with me during one of our dates weren't you. You wrote down what happened for him."
"Yeah because he'd be angry with me." JiHyun explains.
"But you care for him, don't you."
JiHyun is quiet. He looks at Yoongi, and smiles. "You know. You really are a good boyfriend to him."
Silence. The boy stares off into space again, and doesn't move a single inch. And this is when Yoongi realizes. "Jimin?"
The boy with the pink hair looks at Yoongi now, dead in the eyes, and tears stream down his face.
"Yoongi! Yoongi! I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have lied to you." Jimin rubs his eyes.
"It's okay Jimin. I'm sure you would've told me when you were ready." Yoongi hugs his boyfriend, and kisses the top of his head. "I'm not mad Jimin. Just calm down and talk to me now okay?"
After a few minutes of Jimin sobbing into Yoongi's shoulder, and Yoongi rubbing Jimin's back, the two are sitting down again at the table.
"The doctors said it was because of the child abuse. It somehow just triggered me to have the split personality, and there he was, JiHyun." Jimin says.
"What was it like?" Yoongi asks.
Jimin looks at the ceiling. "At first, I loved it. When I found out, I felt like I had my own brother other than Taehyung. A little brother who was with me all the time. But when Taehyung started talking more about him, and his mom constantly worrying why JiHyun always cried anytime he showed up, I guess I got jealous. It was my life too, you know? My memories I could've been making. I even stopped dance because of him!"
"And, do you want him out of your life?" Yoongi looks at the boy, but Jimin shoots his head towards him.
"Of course not! I really care about JiHyun too. I'm just... tired sometimes. Like I don't know what he's thinking."
"Lack of communication." Yoongi says. "Which I don't blame you guys for. It must be hard for both of you." Jimin smiles softly at Yoongi.
"How did you find yourself loving me." Jimin says. "Why me?"
"Because it's you Jimin. The bubbly and happy and cute personality you have. The way you manage to make me smile even if I feel like I want to cry. You mean the world to me."
"You mean the world to me too Yoongi." Jimin gets ready eyed again, but this time he wipes them away before more can come.
Yoongi stands up now. "Which is why I've decided something." Jimin looks at him confused.
"I was going to tell you soon, but Hoseok lied. He didn't come here because of some dancer. He actually got a record deal for me at a company he's signed up for. He's making choreography there."
"Yoongi! That's amazing news! Your music will be huge!" Jimin claps with excitement, but Yoongi shakes his head.
"I'm declining the offer."
"What? Why!" Jimin crosses his arms.
"I'll have to move to Gwangju. But I want to be with you. I want to figure all of this mess out with you. I want to help you Jimin." Yoongi takes his hands, and looks at him in the eyes. "I love you."
Jimin looks down at him, with sad eyes. Although happy that Yoongi would sacrifice his whole career with him, he couldn't let him.
"No. There's no way you're turning down this offer. I won't let you."
"But Jiminie-"
"Yoongi. I love you. So much okay? I understand your reasons for staying here. But I can't accept. It's my own life. I alone have to fix it, and put myself back together. You have to go out, and live your dreams. Because nothing would make me happier, than to see you live them." Jimin puts his hands on his hips, stands up and grabs Yoongi's phone.
"Now text him that you say yes!"
Yoongi looks at his boyfriend, tears now forming in his eyes. "Jimin."
"If this is about you still giving up your dreams for me then forget about saying it. Promise me you'll go. Or you'll make me sad."
"Jimin listen to me." Yoongi takes the boy's hands and looks at him straight in the eye. "I'll promise. As long as you promise me something too."
Jimin nods.
"No matter how hard it is. No matter how many times you and JiHyun get angry at each other. Promise me you'll find a compromise, a middle ground between you two. Promise me you'll find something in between."
Jimin looks a bit shocked, but nonetheless, he takes out his pinky finger, and locks it with Yoongi's. "Min Yoongi. I promise."
"And I promise, I'll find my way back to you." Yoongi says, and hugs the other tightly, wishing the moment would just last forever.
